Correct answer: B

  1. Relation for collision frequency

For a gas in a closed chamber, the collision frequency is proportional to the average speed of molecules:

Z∝vˉZ \propto \bar vZ∝vˉ

And from kinetic theory,

vˉ∝T\bar v \propto \sqrt{T}vˉ∝T​

Hence,

Z∝TZ \propto \sqrt{T}Z∝T​

So for two temperatures,

Z2Z1=T2T1\frac{Z_2}{Z_1} = \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{T_1}}Z1​Z2​​=T1​T2​​​

  1. Convert temperatures to kelvin

At 27∘C27^\circ\mathrm{C}27∘C:

T1=27+273=300 KT_1 = 27 + 273 = 300\,\mathrm{K}T1​=27+273=300K

At 127∘C127^\circ\mathrm{C}127∘C:

T2=127+273=400 KT_2 = 127 + 273 = 400\,\mathrm{K}T2​=127+273=400K

  1. Compute the new collision frequency

Given initial collision frequency is ZZZ at 300 K300\,\mathrm{K}300K, let the new collision frequency be Z2Z_2Z2​.

Then,

Z2Z=400300=43=23\frac{Z_2}{Z} = \sqrt{\frac{400}{300}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}ZZ2​​=300400​​=34​​=3​2​

Therefore,

Z2=23ZZ_2 = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} ZZ2​=3​2​Z

  1. Match with options

This corresponds to:

Option B: 23Z\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}Z3​2​Z
